Winner of the Contest is cpullum!Poodle in A Basket made from Chrysanthemums
I was given the opportunity to ask Julie's advice regarding flowers for Mother's Day. Here's what she had to say.
Every flower is beautiful. When choosing flowers for a special mom in your life, be sure to think about her personality and what type of mom she is to you. For example, if your mom is a free spirit, I would recommend giving her gerbera daisies. If she is a Red Carpet Mom, roses may be perfect for her. Also, tulips are in season around this time period - so take advantage of them.
What unique flowers are in season now? Tulips and Peonies.
What are your personal favorite flowers for Mother's Day ?
Just like children, it is hard to pick a favorite. I love all flowers that I see. If I had to choose, I would say hydrangea and tulips.
What kinds of arrangements would you recommend that could be left on the table as we enjoy Mother's Day dinner?
I would recommend any arrangement or centerpiece that is low, so you are able to hold a conversation with everyone at the table. Any type of flower will accent a dinner table nicely.

Love the Mother Nature Garden Tote! Great Giveaway!!
Absolutely love the poodle! I want!
But of the ones on the other page, I love the gardenia. I miss having them at this house. Guess I should get some and plant them! :D
Thanks for sharing the wonderful photos, the poodle is lovely. Very creative!
Happy Mother's Day to you and all the moms out there!
Mother's Embrace is one of my fave! The color combination of the arrangement and the flowers gives out a warm feeling and it has a more matured color than pretty pink which in my opinion suits my mom's personality ans taste.
The sorbet arrangement is lovely!

There are so many choices. I was on the site earlier in the weekend and they had multi-colored tulips that are my favorite. I don't see them now, but the basket of spring is also really pretty and would make a great centerpiece.
